Learn How to Play: Metallica's "Nothing Else Matters" solo

[TankEpidemic]

There is a tab for this song on ultimate guitar that has the same notes as played here. For some it might be a bit hard to grasp exactly how it's all played. Although i do agree that this isn't exactly a "lesson" or anything, it DOES help in displaying exactly how its all performed and proper timing in lieu with the rest of the song.

[McAfee815]

All you idiots who think you can actually learn this solo would just watch and play along with his notes. This IS the lesson...

[sirsmegalot999]

That's playing it at normal speed, then slightly slower. Not really a lesson XD

[nfsankit]

your hand vibrates more than my mobile phone.

[EpicTaZz56]

finally i found you james thanks for the lesson

[KeithWasHere1]

what kind of strings are you using and what tuning? Drop d

[cheiflefty]

@KeithWasHere1 standard tuning

[KeithWasHere1]

whats that called when you bend the string?

[JustAgURLinSeattle]

This was actually a pretty good lesson I think.

[yuchecktsang]

Just watch it and replay if you got stuck somewhere.

[midnight7895]

@yuchecktsang am doing it right now .not so easy to learn this way x( 

[yuchecktsang]

@midnight7895 try to play it with tabs and watch at the same time. Just try to understand what he's doing.

[midnight7895]

@yuchecktsang ok :D 

[lyrics64]

good lesson dude...

[CreepingDeath1100]

this video is good to watch if you have to tabs infront of you

[DominiqueGuitar]

nice way of teaching... cunt

[blukcirtap]

this solo can be learned by ear.. and if thats too hard, then this is perfect! if you cant learn it this way, you should try learning easier songs. cos he's almost going slo-mo

[ChileMetallica]

gay!

[redmanson121]

[Jimena2512]

you play very well but ehmm you don't how to teach :]

actually it wasn't a lesson

[kamilm122]

this is a lesson! stupid people writes stupid comments then stupid people adds +'es to hese stupid comments... -_- this lesson teaches with slow motion like " look and replay"... this song can't be explained...

fot those who wants write here "this is not a lesson"... play this movie few times and i think you'll learn by a observation :)

[djmitsaras1]

this is not a lesson .

[Maciejrogosz]

I have to admit that You can play it very fluent. But the title "learn to play" does not actually match to the video recording :)

Please explain even a bit, so that everyone knows what and how to play.

[DANNYROCK97]

[mxfreak613]

what are some easy metalica solos to learn for someone who's learning to solo?

[sarge777]

Ha!, easy Metallica solos. Good one.

But seriously I would like to know too.

[mxfreak613]

I found One was easy in a weird kinda way. I think I can do an okay job at the tapping part but im sure when i compare it to the song ill see how off it sounds lol

[Nhenry003]

@mxfreak613 thats one of metallicas easiest solos..............

[mxfreak613]

nice thx man

[Nhenry003]

@mxfreak613 o metallica solos are most of the time insanely hard i been playin fer 2 years and finally masterd this one but for solos that are easy but insane look into AC/DC and Ted Nugent

[wnd2994]

hey dude nice playing but i wanna know where can in get the tabs?

[rammsteww2]

search on google

[ForeverSkateboard]

What guitar is that? I think I just fell in love.

[macles000]

That's great. I musted know how to play this, and I found that here :D hmmm... but it's very difficult for me because i have Electro-Acustic guitar with hard string :((

[n1c4m1]

James doesnt play the solo properly anymore at live shows i think. Which sucks!

[jessevpark]

makes it look so easy

[wnd2994]

ti is easy ;)

[marikasarahh]

love it!!!!!;-)

[Padzer78]

Impressive! Very nice! I feel envious like Patrick Bateman when he saw Paul Allen had a better card than him! Except obviously in this case its cos i cant play guitar nearly to the same degree!

[XtremeHardcoreFed]

You could always axe his face off.

[ludvigeriksson]

really, thanks! :) My result: /watch?v=fc1lUgzPMuQ

[lgcmetallica]

dude thx

[guitarist1d99]

no video on youtube tells you WHERE to put your God damn fingers...its sad that i can play the solos to Fuel and Enter Sandman, as well as part of Sad But True, but not the easiest solo Metallica has ever offered.

[smashmonkeyEXTREME]

the video shows you exactly where to put your fingers

[SJP199]

dude, just find a tab on the web

[DrSlackBladder]

OK as a basic demo - check out my full 5* cover of this.

[snake6740]

[nottinoob]

Dood I would die to have fingers like that man.. Great lesson btw, did learn alot.

[pdonofrio99]

Whenever he does vibrato it looks like he was just scared by something.

Needs to strengthen up and slow down on the bends / vibrato.

[jeoke12]
